A system for deploying a wave energy converter (5) comprising a submersible structure (1) having a buoyancy chamber (3) sufficiently large that when filled with gas it enables the submersible structure (1) to float. In use, a wave energy converter (5) can be transported to a site on the submersible structure (1) and launched by releasing the gas from the buoyancy chamber (3). The system also includes a tethering means in the form of three tethers (6) operatively coupled to the submersible structure (1) for tethering the wave energy converter (5) to the submersible structure (1). The system also includes a docking station (10) provided in connection with the submersible structure (1) for mechanically coupling the wave energy converter (5) to the submersible structure (1) during transportation. A method of deploying a wave energy converter is also described.
Système de déploiement dun convertisseur dénergie houlomotrice (5) comprenant une structure submersible (1) ayant une chambre de flottabilité (3) suffisamment grande pour quune fois remplie de gaz, elle permette à la structure submersible (1) de flotter. En cours dutilisation, un convertisseur dénergie houlomotrice (5) peut être transporté sur un site sur la structure submersible (1) et lancé en libérant le gaz de la chambre de flottabilité (3), ledit système comprenant également un système dancrage en forme de trois attaches (6) raccordé opérationnellement à la structure submersible (1) pour ancrer le convertisseur dénergie houlomotrice (5) à ladite structure submersible (1). Le système comprend également une station damarrage (10) en connexion avec la structure submersible (1) pour raccorder mécaniquement le convertisseur dénergie houlomotrice (5) à la structure submersible (1) pendant le transport. Linvention concerne également un procédé de déploiement dun convertisseur dénergie houlomotrice.
